What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Love the "motion" marks with the football on #1, just the right touch. Bares, hee! And aw, makes me think of Friday Night Lights, sigh......(not that they were "Bares," they were Panthers and Lions (Panties and Lines? ;) )).

My father has Alzheimer's and is living with my sister. Once he "escaped" and was wondering around the neighborhood. The last cake would have been PERFECT for just that situation. XD. See??? There can be a cake for ANYTHING!!!!

you know, you have to wonder...do these people that order these cakes have some sort of foreign accent?? Take that last cake for example....how do you get from Welcome Home...to Walk Him Home?? unless the person has a thick accent and actually pronounced it thusly?? The mystery of cake wrecks I tell ya!

Hee Steve, your brain works like mine -- I actually was counting "malapropisms" as five syllables at first, then I realized that it's only four -- mal-a-prop-isms. (I originally was parsing it out as mal-a-prop-is-ums.) That's why I added the "do." :-)

Okay, I got the "Walk Him Home" = "Welcome Home" first thing. What I didn't get til I read the astute comments here is that "gardening" = "guardian." I thought the doctor and his staff had just made it possible for their patient to enjoy gardening again and was wondering why that was a wreck. I'd settled upon the fact that it should be "angels" instead of "angel." Oh posters, I love you as much as I love Jen!

What if the darkening angel was someone that did some impromptu gardening for Dr Watson and staff? I would have used that pun to say thank you! And normally you sign your name the way that have put dr Watson's -

I live in Virginia, so I tried the Walk Him Home cake in the thickest Tennessee/ Western North Carolina accent in my head...nope, still doesn't work. Wow, you just wonder.

Thanks once again for the hearty guffaw, I was unable to log on until I got home, so no one in the office looked at me cross-eyed and sneered at my outburst, although you would think they would be used to it by now. They don't seem to get CW, I have shared with a few people and no one at work, not even my sister think it's all that it's "wrecked" up to be. I don't understand how THEY can say they have a sense of humor AT ALL. If they don't find CW funny, than what the hell is the point in life? Oh, I get it, I can laugh AT THEM...muuuhhhahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At first I didn't see anything wrong with the beautiful garden cake until I realized they meant guardian lmao. My brain has a slow mode going right now so no wonder I didn't see it. Ugh such a beautiful cake.

Before meeting him on a roof at St Barts, Jim Moriarty had a lovely cake custom made for Sherlock, containing word choice errors referring to him as "staff", and containing a veiled threat of his demise. Mycroft ate it anyway.
